Good numbers all around. It's pretty weird though that even in Middle East, Africa & Asia Wii sells about the same as PS3 even though other is heavily promoted and launched in more countries than other. Overall those are also some scary sales for Nintendo hw. Nintendo really dominates holidays.

I dont think the ps3 is more heavily promoted than say the wii or the 360 in the regions u mentioned. Its sold in more countries yes, but i think wii and 360 are sold in the main markets in those regions as well. Im not too sure about asia and middle east, but i can safely say that in africa the wii is the most promoted out of the 3, then ps3 and xbox on a similar level. I think the main reason why ps3 sells well in those regions is because of the playstation brand that has remained pretty strong...even after the ps3 launch. The reason for this is because of the ps1 and ps2 and how it actually pushed gaming into the mainstream in the above mentioned regions. Many people in my country stil see the ps3 as way more technologicaly advanced than the 360 lol.
I can only really speak about africa....not so much the others. But i think the concept applies, and sony took similar approaches when dealing with the above mentioned regions.
